Off the Cuff with JG3

Too many people out their looking for the elevator to the top. The key to success is in taking small steps forward daily, and doing the work, one step at a time. This is your reminder to adopt the “take the stairs” mentality at all times. Pave the way, stay Goalden!

Some insights on why focusing on profit margin is key for beginning business owners. If the goal is to grow and ultimately scale your business, you are going to want to focus on margin over revenue!

We live in a time where entrepreneurship is glorified, attractive and now a part of our culture. The problem is there are way too many out there calling themselves entrepreneurs without fully understanding what entrepreneurship really is or taking the “risks” and “actions” that I believe are required to earn that title.

A little clarity on this headline this morning as I woke up feeling rough, and with all the excuses in the world to call it a day and head back to bed. If you are working towards success (no matter how you define it) there are no days off. To grow and accomplish, you must do what's necessary, what's uncomfortable and what you don't feel like doing.

If you are getting back into travel mode for your job or business, make sure that YOU are in the driver's seat of that schedule!!!

If you are on the constant pursuit of becoming the best version of yourself, that's going to require the right mindset and a growth strategy. On this episode, I'm challenging ALL of you to start right now by taking action and starting something new that will help you in your goals! Be brave enough, to go for it, and figure it out as you go. It's OK if it's not perfect, you make mistakes or you think no one cares… do the work consistentlly, with passion and purpose, and those results will start to pour on in.

Unfortunately, the masses out there are RIGHT where they were last year or even 10 years ago. This is not the Goalden mindset! If this sounds like you, it's time to turn up that financial thermostat and get to work

To truly grow, you've got to be in a constant state of settling into uncomfortable situations… I call this “Embracing the Suck”.

Welcome to the JG3 Project 3.0 podcast, "Good to Golden". I'm excited to announce not only the debut of my latest podcast project, but my coaching program and platform as well. This episode offers a sneak peek into the mamba mentality and development of a winning mindset and team within your business.

Loyalty.. The key to loyalty lies within it's definition, specifically within these 2 words: 1. Support 2. Allegiance Think about your inner circle, your church, your favorite business...hell your significant other. What makes you loyal and why? On this episode we are talking about what surrounds loyalty AND false loyalty, and remember... "Us Against them All, I'm Down to Brawl. If My Homie Calls". I always have your back ;)

Every story begins with a struggle... Think about anyone you have ever looked up to and then think about their story. I can almost guarantee there is a struggle there. Remember, even Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, initially that is. On this episode we take a look at how you can reflect on your past struggles to first author your story, then tell that story to help elevate, motivate, and impact others.

Did you know that your accessibility and availability can actually become a superpower and force within your business? I see it ALL the time, especially while I am out there scrolling on social. Someone is upset because yet again, one of you lackadaisical business owners out there has promoted yourself as being available, and ready help yet when contacted it's straight crickets. You need to make sure that your availability and accessibility match up to your customer base, product/service, brand and marketing campaigns! Let's face it, in a world of social selling, direct messaging and online reviews, your ability to be available and accessible against the manner in which your market yourself will either make you or break you. That's real talk right there. And remember, if you ever need me, "I'll be Around"!

There is nothing this man couldn’t do! Never one to boast, he excelled in anything that he touched; photography, music, oil painting, pencil drawing, woodworking, landscaping and videography to name a few. Most of all, he loved studying the Word of God, his family and fellowman. He enjoyed mentoring others and passing on his knowledge. He was a wonderful man that will be missed by all who knew and loved him. His legacy is how greatly he loved and that love will continue through many generations to come. And yes, that is his heartbeat on the outro... Until we meet again ❤️

You've seen the hashtags, time to learn some background and insight into wear this all stems from! This phrase has become the JG3 motto over the past couple of years. A simple phrase...but one that has a specific measurement for success. The concept is fairly straight forward: Dream Big Who do you want to become? Work Hard What Actions are you going to take to get there? Leave your Legacy What impact do you want to have? That's it... a simple motto designed to keep this guy on point, on task and on his way to building his best life ever. What's yours???

Networking! What it is, why you should do it, and how to make valuable connections...especially in a digital and social selling world! As business owners, we can sometimes get caught in the rate race of keeping our head down and putting in the work. Yes, definitely important, especially in the early stages. But growth? Extending your reach? Hard work alone simply is not going to get you there. Look... no one necessarily enjoys, cold calling, DM's and knocking on doors. Especially if you're out there just blindly hitting the Add Friend button, with an immediate direct message out there saying, "Hi, how are you? Would you like to learn about my blah blah blah?" No! Networking is an extremely important aspect of this game we call business. Do it right and you will be well on your way to expanding your reach, brand and client base. Do it wrong? Well...I'm afraid your time on the business field will be very short lived.
